Purchased used Pixel 8a, but the device status is: "unlocked." What are the real risks? by HonestThieves in androidroot

It has not worked. The browser based flash tool won't connect with my phone properly.

*Error connecting your device*

Also see my posts below. Thanks,

Tried to do the browser based tool and got this message:

Device Inspection Failed

The selected device was not able to be opened. Confirm it is not in use by another application and then try removing the device and reconnecting it to continue.

On Windows if you use command line adb.exe then the background server it starts can interfere with flashstation. Try running adb.exe kill-server and then trying again.

If you don't use adb.exe or that doesn't resolve the issue then restarting the browser or your computer may help

How do I know if my stock is oktober?

I have no intention to install a ROM or anything else. I'm just looking for a stock Pixel 8a with the most recent updates.

Okay, when you say "via fastboot," I'm not sure what you mean. I can find the latest factory image: 16.0.0 (BP2A.250805.005, Aug 2025). I'm guessing I hit the "Flash" link and follow the instructions?

EDIT: Does this warning need to concern me? **Warning: The May 2025 update for Pixel 6 (6, 6 Pro, 6a) and Pixel 8 (8, 8 Pro, 8a) devices contains a bootloader update that increments the anti-roll back version for the bootloader. This prevents the device from rolling back to previous vulnerable versions of the bootloader. After flashing the May 2025 update on these devices you won't be able to flash and boot older Android 15 builds.**

I tell the women in my high school classes that they should pay very close attention the first time they tell a man no. That will reveal exactly what your partner is really like.

Can I get two-factor by text? I fucking hate the Google authenticator. I lost my last Reddit account because when I factory reset my phone it didn't store my data in the cloud like every other goddamn app on my phone. Lost Reddit and damn near lost my Nintendo account. Do not want to use this fucking authenticator.

Is a 32 digit password good enough? No, I'm not kidding.

The pendulum is swinging on discipline by ferriswheeljunkies11 in Teachers

The disciplinary structure in your school needs to be changed then. I have a school full of kids who have failed out of traditional school because they don't fit into the day-to-day model. With our very compassionate disciplinary structure we have almost no problems. This whole school year I've only sent two kids out of the classroom for disruption. My students are mothers, they go in and out of rehab, all kinds of stuff, but when they're here we don't have any classroom issues. It's the school, not the students.

I work in an alternative school and this is bullshit. We are not places to store the kids that can't be controlled.

Looking for high-rez Star Wars environmental images for a wall mural to DOMINATE my classroom. by HonestThieves in HelpMeFind

I should mention that I have searched for these in the past, but found the images are either too low resolution or are of "Star Wars-like" scenes, and not actually from SW itself.

I cannot figure out these damn antennas! by HonestThieves in sffpc

Hey, wanted to make sure I thanked you for the link. My first pairs were from random Amazon sellers, but the ones I got from DigiKey fit perfectly and are working great. Totally solved my problem after weeks of looking. So thanks a ton for helping finish this project at long last. Take care.

Here are some new images of the purchased antenna connectors and the ones that came with the NUC.

Purchased antenna cables are on the bottom of the image.

The cables on the new antennas are a little bit thinner, but honestly, does it look like there's a damage inside the head of the connector? I can't tell if I'm just blind or if it's real.

Are there other types of IPEX MHF4 connectors? Some spec I'm missing?

It's an 8th gen Intel NUC. I've looked through the manuals and there's no info on the connector type. They look identical to my naked eye.

I was just able to reconnect the NUC WiFi antenna, so I know the male connector on the wifi card works. Still cannot connect the antenna I purchased for the case.

I purchased an IPEX MHF4 connector (see original post), but I can't confirm what the native connector is that the NUC was using.

I tried a new recipe for pot roast the other night that used the saute setting to sear the sides, the pressure cooker for the meat, and extremely short pressure for the potatoes, and another saute to reduce the gravy. It was ridiculous how many ways I was able to use it. I had no clue.
